What's the difference between a neuropsychologist (example dr mandelman) a developmental pediatrician (dr huberman) a pediatric neurologist/neurophysiologist and a clinical child psychologist?

One is an MD and one is a psyD

I gave 4 specialties. I know 2 are MDs and 2 are PhDs.

Neuropsychologist (Example Dr Samuel Mandelman PhD)
Developmental pediatrician (example Dr. Harris Huberman MD)
Pediatric neurologist/neurophysiologist (example Dr Joseph Maytal MD)
Clinical child psychologist (example Dr Nechama Kramer PhD)

My question is what's the difference between all of them?

I have seen these names recommended in threads here, and I'm trying to figure out which specialist would is what we are looking for.

Its so confusing and there are so many options and you don't want to make mistakes/waste time by making appointments at the wrong type of specialist)
